Sweet Antagonist
Section 16. Men Full of Attention

Kris stepped on the red carpet casually, behind him Noah was crying while embracing Liam.

Noah unceasingly complains about Kris's actions to Liam, about how Kris dried up his account just to treat a girl to a meal.

"Liam, you have to defend me no matter what. Everyone in this country knows that Kris Alexander is the richest man, but how can he even use the money of a poor boy like me? My savings are lost to him," Noah argues to Liam.

Liam just smiled, he stroked Noah's hair that was dyed blonde. "Are you not ashamed? If until the children know that the leader who is always in the front row when fighting this enemy is a crybaby?" liam said with a smile.

"Do I care about my image now? What should I do if my mom finds out?" Noah's eyes began to glaze over, imagining how his mother ran amok like a nine-tailed fox.

"Of course, Kris will definitely change your money. You just say, if Kris spent it," said Liam trying to persuade Noah, to be honest, his arm was sore because it continued to be hugged Noah.

"Do you think my mother would believe it?"

"Of course not stupid." Liam flicked Noah's forehead, then sped up his pace following Kris who had already preceded them.

"It's not usually that you want to come to a party like this" Liam asked as he had already equalized their steps.

"I just want to see the show" Kris replied briefly.

"I became curious, what kind of sister-in-law had made my account dry. Is his body shaped like a pig?" Noah whispered to Liam, afraid that if Kris heard him eat he would get a bump that could damage his handsome face.

"You'll see it soon."

"How's it?" Adam asked without taking his eyes off the files in his hand.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't find anything at all about L." Tio lowered his head in fear, his heart feeling bad for having made Adam, the foster father disappointed.

"What exactly is that person's purpose?"

"Didn't you find any clues at all about L in the underworld¹?" ask Adam again, who again became the same by Tio. Adam rubbed his face in frustration. This would never have happened if Adam had not refused L's request.

At first, the company is very safe and controlled, but one night, someone with the initials L sends him a message in the form of a virus. A message of threat that Adam could not have been able to.

I asked him to fire 100 employees within 10 hours, Adam thought it was just a fad of someone who had no job, Adam ignored the message. Even though mother was right, Adam would not follow the game, because besides being unreasonable, it was also completely inhuman.

There are hundreds of people who are looking for a fortune for their families in his company, how could Adam fire them for no apparent reason.

And because of that, L started doing things with his company. Starting from stealing company secrets and divulging all their plans in the future. The security and information system, all the comments almost had a virus and worse, the company had to lose a lot of great artists.

"Master, do I need to look for any information regarding L again?" ask Tio.

Adam shakes, "no. You better stay by Seline's side, let me take care of it. You don't have to think about it. Go, he must be looking for you."

Tio nodded, though hesitated he left Adam alone. After Tio's departure, Diana walked into the room. He then hugged Adam, giving him strength.

"Darling, do you think I need to ask her for help?" diana asked, she had the heart when she saw her husband was so distressed by this.

"But you're just torturing yourself."

Adam smiled, "no. When I brought you here, I promised that I wouldn't ask them for help. I know they'll help, but promise is a promise."

"If you did say that Ella Alexander gave you this dress, it doesn't matter if you prove it in front of us all." Lilis walked towards Seline, about to tear off the dress she was wearing, making Seline step back.

However, just as the hand was about to touch Seline's dress a hand, not 4 hands had just stopped Lilis' hand from touching Seline.

"Who would dare bully my woman?" Kris clutched Lilis' wrist firmly.

Next to him a man with white hair and a sweet smile was doing the same thing, "it's not good, if you have to do a physical attack."

"Sorry I'm late" Tio said, looking angrily at Lilis.

"Truly a lowly." Bisma said in a cold tone of her chili exra.

Behind them, Seline was stunned. He was surprised when Kris turned his body back and then, suddenly there were 4 princes who were saving him. But actually it's not necessary.

Forget it, something's stuck here. Seline will probably understand that it's Tio and Kris, but why did Bhishma even go along? Isn't it in the novel he's gonna kill Seline?

And again, who is this man with white hair and a smile full of charm? Why was Seline unaware that there was a prince nearby?

Lilis pulled her painful hand, the red color showing how strongly the four men hurt her.

Lilis took a few steps back, as her eyes looked into the eyes of the four men. Their gazes were sharp as if they wanted to concoct it and make it into a feed.

"Bisma," cried Lila he approached Bhishma, but with the coldness of Bhishma turned his face away, he looked instead at Seline who was dumbstruck.

Kris who saw it pulled Seline into his arms, but Tio's hand pulled Seline's body away faster. Tio gave distance to Kris and Bhishma.

"Bisma, Lilis didn't mean that" said Lila softly, but the two hands she was hiding were clenched firmly holding back in annoyance. Since then, Bhishma has been ignoring her, but why does Bhishma even care about Seline?

"You don't get mad at Lilis, she's just standing up for me because Seline has embarrassed me."

"Sorry, but what part did I embarrass you for?" Seline exclaimed inadmissive. Wasn't he the victim here?

"You're wearing a fake dress to come to the party, aren't you looking at your grandmother's face anymore?" lilis Benth.

"What is the basis for saying that? Do you have telepathy with my grandmother? Why have I seen him not care at all?" Seline waved at the stairs, where she saw an old woman with a white fur scarf. The expression of the flat face, did not make Seline interested at all.
